Quotable No. 1: "I saw him over there. But the key is that you can't get off your routine, because we're going to be playing in this stadium and there are going to be thousands of people watching. I was just trying to listen to Coach Scarnecchia and do what he was asking me to do." --- Welch on the presence of Patriots coach Bill Belichick at camp (Source: ESPNboston.com)
Quotable No. 2: "It was a great experience, flying around with all the guys out here and making some plays. I'm a guy that came from Vanderbilt, so I'm a smart guy. I graduated in 3 1/2 years. I'm just a humble guy that stays to himself." --- Lewis on his first day (Source: Tampa Tribune)
